In case you haven’t had the pleasure of shopping this much-anticipated yearly sale, it’s the biggest sale Nordstrom offers, so you certainly don’t want to sleep on this event. Unlike traditional sales, where older products get discounted to make way for newer versions, this one-of-a-kind event is all about brand new products from your favorite brands. And when the sale’s over, they’ll go back to the regular price.

Last year, the sale began to open to the public on July 15. And on July 6th, cardholders got the opportunity. to shop the sale before it opened to the public. This year, the sale will follow a similar schedule. Yes, there are perks to becoming a Nordstrom cardholder — in this case, you get to shop the coveted sale first before the public beginning on July 11 for Icon cardholders. On July 12, Ambassador access opens, then Influencers. The sale then opens to non-cardholders on July 17 and runs until August 6.

Last year, we scored Oprah’s favorite Spanx pants, and it looks like there’s more of that in store this time around. Plus, some Meghan Markle favorites to boot.
